Happy Hump Day!
I hope you are having a wonderful week!
Just wanted to pop in quickly and share the progress we’ve made in our living room.
First of all, all of the flooring has been laid! Woo to the hoo!
We decided not to finish sanding and staining the floor until we finish the drywall and putting the treads on the steps.
Here is a progression of pictures to show you how this space has transformed.
Our living room a few months ago…
We tore the wall down so we could see our new staircase.
We still had doors to the bathroom and our bedroom that needed to be gone.
Then we removed the pine flooring and replaced it with utility grade oak.
Last week, we closed up the other doorway.
We still needed to drywall around the stairs.
Looking better!
Both doorways are gone!
We will be adding columns to both sides of this entry way and molding above on the ceiling.
Something sort of like this…
This is what the space looks like as of this morning!
Now Cy needs to finish the drywall and the trim work. And then he will finish the stairs. And then he will sand and stain the floor! 
Yep! We still have a lot of work to do, but we are getting there!
We will be doing something very exciting to our bathroom this weekend!
Can you guess what it is by looking at this picture? 
Have a blessed day!
